The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the Liberal Democrats 2024 Election Manifesto is the most Beard Friendly of the major parties.
BLF researchers have undertaken the unenviable task of reading the Manifestos of most of the parties likely to have representation in the New House of Commons elected on July 4th.
The campaigners say that once the researchers had been woken up the view was that the Liberal Democrat Manifesto was the most Beard Friendly of a distinctly lacklustre bunch. It contains the following paragraph:
Liberal Democrats exist to build a free society where every person’s rights and liberties are protected. Everyone should be able to live their lives as who they are: free to pursue their dreams and fulfil their potential, safe in the knowledge that their fundamental rights will be protected.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said unfortunately the Liberal Democrats have long ditched their traditional beard and sandals image but their policy does come closest to the BLF principle that people should be able to dress and appear as they want. We don’t regard this as a right to be protected,when it comes to beards, but rather an important principle. This is not a specific recommendation to vote LibDem but if anything it underlines that most parties have a way to go on beard friendly policies
